3. Goals — What do you want to accomplish?
Pure fun — kids build and launch, maximum excitement
Lesson-based — we teach aerodynamics, forces, engineering design
Teacher-led — you teach, we provide equipment and support
Competition — distance, accuracy, altitude contests
Target practice — closest to the mark
Timed flights — longest hang time
STEM enrichment — tie into curriculum standards

5. Logistics
Duration Preferred:
Sessions (if multiple groups):
Setup/prep time available? Can we arrive early? Is space occupied before us?
We like to arrive early for setup and test launches.
